Go! Howard! This video is wonderful. It's great to see Howard digging and playing with such enthusiasm. I should let my bunnies try this. And I never thought of putting them out on a chain--something they can't chew through--but we have hawks and owls in the neighborhood, so I'd still have to bunnysit.

It's great to see rabbit's doing what comes natural. They need nice soft, but firm dry soil. otherwise the hole will collapse. I had one bun that was as good as howard, everyday I'd see how far my arm would go into the hole - it was awesome, but eventually it collapsed in. they are such neat diggers too. Love that paw action.

Having raised several house rabbits, It has been my experience that females are generally the best at doing the actual digging, while male rabbits are better at pushing and moving the dirt. We had a bonded pair, Sam and Twinkie, that did just that and worked very well together.

Perhaps, the cutest thing was the day I caught Sam helping Twinkie carry a large pee pad into a spare bedroom. She used the pee pad in a nest she was building (due to a false pregnancy). We had her fixed a couple of weeks later.
